An 18-year-old woman is charged with homicide in connection with a drug overdose that killed her friend earlier this week in Green Bay.

Jordan R. Tilot, 18, who lives on Nicolet Drive in the town of Scott, is charged with first-degree reckless homicide as party to a crime, and delivery of less than 3 grams of heroin, both felonies. Benjamin Johnston of 1269 Shawano Ave. was pronounced dead early Monday, days after his 24th birthday.

Tilot called a friend on Johnston's behalf on Sunday night after Johnston indicated that he wanted to buy drugs, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Brown County Circuit Court. Tilot then drove Johnston to a convenience store and waited in her Buick, listening to music and sending text messages while Johnston met with the drug dealer, the complaint alleges.

Tilot told police the pair returned to Johnston's apartment and played video games before Johnston injected heroin, the complaint says. When Johnston passed out, Tilot called the dealer to ask what to do, tried reviving Johnston with chest compressions, then called 911 about 10 minutes after he collapsed.

Police and rescuers found Johnston unresponsive. They could not revive him.

A judge set bond at $5,000 and scheduled her next appearance for March 18.

Prosecutor Carley Miller asked that bond be set at $25,000, noting that she has convictions for bail jumping and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. But defense attorney Aaron Schenk argued that bond should be $1,000, saying Tilot has strong community ties and played a limited role in Johnston's death.

"She is only accused of being the person who 'middled' the deal," Schenk said. "The deceased was a good friend of hers."

The dealer has yet to be charged, District Attorney David Lasee said.

Tilot is a Northeast Wisconsin Technical College student and works at a restaurant in Scott, Schenk said.
